No, there's a little green LED that turns on when the camera is active. There may be a physical iris too, I didn't think to look for that. Will try to find out and comment again later. At any rate, that still protects you from just about everybody but someone who could slip something into the iSight firmware (or perhaps device driver). That led could even be hardwired into the ccd power, then it's pretty much fool proof.
Distance helps a ton when protecting against a radiation source. Assuming the source radiates in all directions, the amount of radiation received is proportional to the surface area of a sphere at whatever radius. I know for electromagnetic radiation it can be measured in mW/cm^2, not sure what the appropriate exposure unit is for gamma radiation. At 100 yards, the amount of radiation received is 120,000 times less than at 1 yard, and so forth.
Thick enough lead would do the job, although from the original article that would be way too much lead to be able to walk around in. Also from the original article, the gamma radiation strength drops so quickly with distance you need only be a few hundred feet away and the exposure isn't much more significant than normal background radiation.
The legal term for theft/stealing/robbery is larceny, defined by Miriam-Webster as "the unlawful taking of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it permanently". The Wikipedia article goes into more detail. The key part of those definitions is the word "deprive." Illegitimate file sharing does not deprive the copyright holder of any property (compensation isn't mentioned anywhere here), so larceny and its related words (theft, stealing, etc) aren't suitable.
Copyright infringement really is the pertinent term. The record label (copyright holder, whoever) owns the exclusive right to reproduce the works it creates, and to license and control those rights. The United States Code itself calls the violation of copyright "copyright infringement," not theft or larceny.
I think the main reason that copyright infringement cannot be simplified to theft is that theft implies that the owner no longer has something that is his. Downloading a song or movie illicitly does not deprive the copyright holder of anything. (It does not deprive them of profit, as downloading has nothing to do with whether or not one has or may purchase the work legitimately, nor do they have the currency you owe them in the first place to be stolen)
I do not claim that file sharing is legal, proper, or the like, but it is not theft, stealing, or larceny. It is copyright infringement, no more, no less.
That is what I meant, but another poster and then google proved me wrong. At any rate, the machines rely heavily on natural convection, using fans only when the heat is too intense, which only happens when the cpu is at a high load for a long while.
No fans. It's all convective action (don't take it to space). The iMac G5 also relies heavily on convective current, but has a fan for those situations when 101fps just isn't enough.
Strictly speaking, WebCore doesn't. JavascriptCore does. WebKit rolls them all together with the retrieval and display glue that the gp and ggp are talking about. Then all a browser maker has to do is is put a widget or two onto a window, and presto, done.
You miss the point. This system DOES make the underlying transmission secure. Quantum key exchange is impossible to eavesdrop on. Combine this with XOR (which is impossible to break any way other than brute force), and you have a very secure system. Plus, with advanced compression techniques, knowing the contents of one frame tells you very little about the video at that frame.
As far as bulk purchasing goes, when a volume license customer wants Win2k, they (have to) purchase XP licenses, and just tell Microsoft that they want WinNT/2k cd keys and media.
And there are multiple types of streams from the Satellites, plus ATSC from the OTA tuner. DirecTV is rolling out MPEG-4 for new HD channels, which the current HR10-250 currently can't deal with. And you do have to buy a new one every 6-8mo if you're doing HDTV Satellite. I just had a HR10-250 (my first Satellite system ever) installed today. They sure as hell better offer a cheap upgrade path.
The first FC was 420, the second was 425 (which I'm in the process of downloading for the second time). Builds don't correspond to bugs, but rather, I believe, a rough measure of time.
No, you are buying the song. What you aren't buying is the right to duplicate and distribute those copies. When you buy a CD, you own the CD. The patterned foil and plastic disc is all yours. Copyright, (the right to copy. cool, huh?) is still reserved for the content creator.
Which is it? Is Bush a bible-thumping hick, or is he a master schemer serving exclusively a global oil elite?
It's both, except for the master schemer part. Bush works for the global oil elite, as you call it. I wouldn't be surprised to see a book in twenty years claiming that his seat in the oval office was only as a proxy for others with greater minds. This, however, does not get him president on its own. We dwarf that elite many hundreds of times over. That is why he panders to the religious folk and claims to be guided by God and stuff. It's the only way he can build up support strong enough to get into office.
Fiscally, you can't get the majority of the population to vote for you by cutting taxes for any 1% group, or even a 49% group. Hence, combine your ulterior motive, money, with a ultraconservative social policy facade (that comprises a much larger base), and history would tell twice over you've got a winning bid for head honcho.
Not only does it apply to POTS, it applies to any situation where someone/thing is carrying goods or information for hire. The Post Office, couriers, and ISPs are all examples of common carriers. In a regulatory view, Common Carrier status protects a carrier from legal liability for what it transports, however, such a carrier can't then cherry-pick what it wants to carry. See Wikipedia.
Now, IMHO, this is why the big carriers can't or won't filter competing VoIP traffic. No doubt they'd love to, but then they wouldn't be able to use Common Carrier status as a legal protection against what goes on through their network. No doubt the RIAA would love to be able to force Comcast or AT&T to filter music sharing.
No, it has most certainly not come and gone. Automator is going to take applescript to new levels. In addition, AppleScript isn't a one-shot thing. It operates on top of apple's "Open Scripting Architecture." You can write OSA scripts in any language you have an interpreter/compiler plugin for. There's only one I know of, for javascript, but in theory you could write a plugin for any language. Python, F:Script, anything.
Also, an upgrade from 10.n to 10.n+1 is a full-featured OS update, with 150-200 new features in each. I don't see that in SP2 (heck, I don't think there were that many from W2k to XP)

Irrelevant to the Palm platform. Verizon locks down downloads to most "regular" phones, but the Treos are wide open.

We already have something just as powerful, and much easier to use:

No experience with FF or Mozilla, but the UI guidelines say it should be under the application menu, along with quit and about.
Essentially, yes.
